The NYC History video today is at the Elks Lodge in Queens where ECW held their wrestling shows at the Madhouse of Extreme. This is more of a personal story rather than an out and out NYC history video, when I used to come to the Elks Lodge in the 1990s to watch ECW Wrestling. There are a couple of other items in the video, the Boca Juniors football themed restaurant and the First Presbyterian Church.

The main attraction is the old Bohack warehouse which still has the Bohack name on the smokestack. We also take a look at how to date a building sign from pre 1985 as well as look at some other interesting items.
